RUSSELL observed that, in his opinion, as it was the undoubted right of the Commons to introduce Bills to regulate the succession to the Crown, and to reform the representation of the people in Parliament, " so likewise it was their un doubted right to introduce, and to favour, if they _ . _ should think fit, Bills respecting a reform, but which he did not consider a reform, in the other branch of the Legislature." This is sound, manly doctrine, such as it becomes a British Minister to deliver, and a British House of Commons to listen to. On he ears of the Tories, however, it must grate with peculiar harshness. They will, of course, pro- nounce it unconstitutional, and start at the bare idea of the Upper House being reformed through the agency of the Lower. Yet it must come to this at last. If the Lords will not be reformed from within— and of this there is scarcely a hope, or they would have set about the task of regeneration long ere'now—they must perforce consent to be reformed from without ; for it is impossible that the interests of a great country can be sacrificed to the prejudices of a few aristocrats, who have little in common with the age, but the fashion of their garments. It is notorious that a great portion of the. Tory Lords are at least fifty years be hind their day. While all about them is in progress, they alone are at a stand-still. The reason of this is, not so much want of capacity, as want of sympathy with, and knowledge of, all below a certain grade in the community. They build up a wall of demarcation between themselves, and those whom they are pleased contemptuously to call " the people." An Almack's spirit of exclusiveness pervades all their actions. They live in a petty world of their own, fenced round by prejudice and conven tional etiquette. Hence they are constantly mis taking the language of sycophancy for that of truth ; and the smiles of a coterie for the ap plause of the country. Will nothing rouse them from this delusion ? Are they really deaf as the adder, and blind as the mole ? Let them calmly consider—if, indeed, prejudice, grown into second na ture, have not wholly incapacitated them for reflec tion—the rapid, the unparailelled progress that events have lately made, in spite of them. But ten short years ago they were omnipotent in both Houses, and exercised, too, an influence over the Crown which re duced the Monarch to a mere cypher. Theirs were the pensions and the sinecures ; theirs the Church— the Law—the Army and the Navy ; they had the key of the public Treasury in their pocket; and a snug berth in every colony. Moreover, they had the Ca tholics and Dissenters at their feet ; bad forced the Whigs into an all but unconditional surrender ; and chained the Prometheus of Radicalism to his rock. Such was the overwhelming power of the Tory arigtocracy but ten years since. What is it now ; and what is the inference we would draw from the contrast between its present and its past position ? Why this, that all authority that does not emanate directly from the popular will, and take this as its corner-stone, is—no matter how numerous and stable its conventional props may appear—built upon a rotten foundation, like the palace which the fool erected on the sands, and which the first hurricane shivered to atoms. Would that we could induce the Tory Lords to look at their position, with reference rather to what it is, than what it was ! If they could not stlstain- their predominant influence when supported by all the factitious props to which we have just alluded, how can they be expected to sustain it now, when these props have, one by one, been removed from them ? But it is vain to reason with the unreflecting. Prejudice may be subdued, but not fanaticism ; and the Lords being resolved to per- Severe in their headstrong, fanatical policy, must be prepared to pay the penalty of their infatuation. We take for granted that in expressing himself hostile to a Reform in the Upper House, Lord JOHN RUSSELL referred, not to the general principle, but to Mr. O'CONNELL'S particular motion. Our readers gill perceive, on reference to our re ports of the public Meetings at Worcester, Taunton, the City a London, and elsewhere, on the subject of the Irish Municipal Bill, that the cour.try is at length fully awake to the necessity of rendering " equal jus tice " 'to Ireland. The spirit displayed at all these Meetings breathes a bold and uniform determination of purpose, which the Lords, however they may storm . . and bluster, will never be able to make head against. In answer to the assertion of these infatuated men, that their amendments to the Irish Corporation measure have been dictated by the purest split of justice and impartiality towards Irishmen of all classes, we need only refer our readers to a letter addressed to a Morning Contemporary, which appears a in another part of The Sun of this day, whereby it will be seen how " disinterested and impartial" has been the local assistance of which Lord LYNDHURST has availed himself, as respects the Cork Corporation. In the Committee of Supply, last night, Sir AN DREW AGNEW, it will be seen, took the opportunity of angling again for a few stray votes on the subject of his Sunday-persecution Bill. Luckily, however, time ghostly Baronet met with no sport. Not a single Member bit. There was not even a nibble. While speaking of this pious Parlia mentarian, we may just observe that our attention was arrested yesterday evening, while crossing the Hampstead-road, by the shrill tones of a field preacher who was damning a motley audience consisting of about a dozen old women, three Irish hodmen, a squa child in arms, and a stray donkey, with incredible zeal and alacrity. 'We did not get close enough to the stormy fanatic to be able to recognise his features ; but, from the style of his eloquence, and the circum stance of his looking like a scare-crow eloped from a corn-field, we have every reason to believe that he was St. Stephen's leading Apostle. Our correspondent at Portsmouth has forwarded to us the following communication respecting the state of the British Legion at St. Sebastian : POKTSNIOUTH, MAY 30, 1836.—The Messenger steamer, Mr. King master, arrived this morning from San Sebastian. Her despatches were landed yesterday at Plymouth ; she brings no news of any movements of the belligerent troops ; but she brings very satisfactory news of the state of General Evans's troops and his means of keeping his troops effective. The Gallant Member for Westminster requires to know who are his enemies, and he will march against them with his eleven thousand men ; but more than this, prudence directs him to ask, who are his friends ? He has fully ascertained that the winter season has been embraced by Carlos most effect ively, and that be has strengthened himself in men, munitions, and means in a most surprising manner ; that he is not to be put down now, as he could have been six months ago, when there was in reality no British Legion in existence—that, in fact, the tables are quite turned, and it is clearly shown, from the activity of the Carlists in Spain, the Legitimatists in France, Italy, Germany, and the rest of Europe, and the Tories in E ng l an d, an d f rom t h e e ff ect of this united activity, that Spain is not yet in the condition to be morally and politically improved. Struggle we may, but we, in our wishes, and above all General Evans and his brave companions in their exertions, will wish and exert in vain. Spain and Spaniards are is yet to be kept in ignorance and slavery, and it is- much to be feared, from the disposition of the people, that only some bloody, tumultuous events will lead to a better order of things—such only in the present state of affairs can be expected. The people are priest-ridden, or abhorrent of priestcraft ; and the priesthood are too besotted to understand that education should be admitted to the people. Let them stand the consequences—the fault be upon their own heads. The ships at San Sebastian arc the T wee d sloop of-war, English C o mmander si Maitland ; Royalist, 10 guns , Li eutenant Barlow ; Viper ii lschooner, Lieutenant Robinso n ; Phoenix steamer, Commander Henderson, with Lord John Hay's broad pendant ; Salamander steamer, Lieutenant Duffil • Comet steamer, Lieutenant Otl,vay ; the Al onzoth four ransp larort, igler.aWrmaeld tars, Master; and Commodore Henry, with steamers, in the service of the Queen of Spain.

GENTLEMEN, ENCOURAGED by a numerous body of Elec tors, to become a Candidate for the honour of representing you in Parliament, to supply the vacancy caused by the lamented death of your late highly respected Member, Mr. Hall Dare, I venture to declare my acceptance of so flattering an invitation. I come forward only in the absence of some more worthy Candi date, for the sole purpose of affording an opportunity to the con stituency of declaring those sentiments which anima' e the ma jority of the electors, and upon which I confidently rely for our ultimate success. An equitable commutation of tithes, ecclesiastical and municipal reforms, and a removal of those disabilities which still press upon the Dissenters, shall have my most strenuous support. In pursuit of these objects I shall be guided by principles of equal justice in endeavouring to secure for the nation peace, economy, and useful re forms, and for individuals the inviolability of private property. My opinions are known to be favourable to the support of the Church of England, in so far as that institution shall be rendered and maintained an efficient means of supporting the Christian Re ligion in this land. In regard to agriculture, my property and my connections are bound up in its interests ; my habits, both of study and of action, have been much directed to its welfare ; and it is for you, and not for myself, to estimate the value of my opinions in connection therewith, as they are well known to a large portion of the Constituency. The short period which must elapse between this time and the day of nomination must prevent my waiting personally upon every elector ; but I hope to be able to present myself in every district of the division to state more fully my opinions. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble servant, Upminster Hall, May 26, 1836. C. E. BR ANFILL. 1-IAMBURGH,III, , ,acx 18, 1836.

The proceedings in the HOUSC! of Commons, last night, in reference to the petition of the Dublin Electors arc singularly edifying, inasmuch as they prove that that House considers the claims of substan tial justice a mere feather in the balance against the weight of forms—we were going to add " and prece dents"—but there is no precedent for the course pur sued by the House on this occasion. There are pre cedents for the rejection of a petition after an Elec tion Committee had reported a Candidate duly elected, because it is necessary that some limit should be fixed to the period for bringing for ward charges of bribery or other mal-practices but where is the precedent for the rejection, by a Select Committee, of evidence to bring home bribery to a candidate, tendered at the proper time, and then, by the House of Commons, of`a petition from the elec tors, praying to be allowed to prove their charges ? The peculiarity of this case has been completely over looked, and the interests of the electors of Dublin have been sacrificed, first to the ignorance of 11 Members of the House, and then to the squeamishness of the House itself in adhering to the letter instead of being guided by the spirit of its own forms. What are the facts of this extraordinary case ? They lie in a nut-shell. A petition is presented against the return of the sitting Members for Dublin, and a Select Committee is appointed to in vestigate the merits of the election. In the course of this investigation bribery is detected, and evidence is offered to connect the unsuccessful candidates with the crime. No, say the Committee, WE will not allow such evi- dence to be produced. The inquiry is brought to a close ; the sitting Members are found to have the fewest number of good votes, and the Committee report that the unsuccessful candidates—the charge of bribery still hanging over their heads—are dull elected. A petition is then presented by the electors, praying permission to bring forward their proofs. No, say the House, we are very sorry for your case—it is a particu larly hard one—but you are concluded by the report of a Select Committee. That report is wrong, we admit, most decidedly wrong, but nevertheless it is final ! and this is parliamentary law : this contemptible quibbling —this " pitiful chicanery," as Mr. O'CONNELL ap propriately described it—is the lex parliamentaria of Great Britain in the year 1836 Mr. GROVE PRICE withdrew his absurd notice last night in the House of Commons, which proves that he, is a man of more good sense than people might be - apt to give him credit for. In allusion to the Hon. (di -- _ T.HRSITN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 31, 11-,36. too highly coloured. The PRETENDER is by no I means so well provided with the means of defending himself as our correspondent supposes. The struggle, as far as concerns Don CARLOS, will soon terminate. We have other advices from St. Sebastian, which state that General JAUREGUI, at the head of 7,000 Spaniards, had put himself under the command of General EVANS, whose entire force now exceeds 14,000 men, all in high spirits, and ready for action at a moment's notice. The Paris Papers of Sunday, received this morning, are filled with repetitions of the intelligence from the Spanish capital, which we communicated to our readers in yesterday's Sun. The recent movement of COR- DOVA is said to be the result of an urgent request on the part of IsTuniz, in which, the President of the Council took leave to inform the Commander-in-Chief, that without the speedy success of the QUEEN'S arms in the North, he would be compelled to quit the Cabinet. One of the Paris Journals is of opinion that the new Minister will lose, rather than gain supporters, by the dissolution of the Chambers; and that after the elec- tion he may find himself without a seat in the Cortes. We are of a different opinion ; inasmuch as we are persuaded that ISTURIZ cannot remain in office till after the next election. In what way is it conceivable that he could ?. He has no money, no credit, and no moral influence. In Saragossa, in Valencia, in Seville, in Cadiz, in Murcia, and in all the principal citiq throughout Spain, Juntas are forming to thwart and impede his Government.' Petitions have already been addressedto the REGENT, praying her Majesty to dismiss him, and to free herself _ from the baneful councils of the Camarilla. If these demands be not complied with, together with the removal of those Generals ob jected to by MENDIZABAL, the National Guards of Sarragossa, Catalonia, and Valencia have declared themselves in readiness to march on Madrid, with the full determination of enforcing those measures which they regard as necessary for the general welfare of the nation. The accounts from Bayonne are to the 26th instan General EVANS has received the reinforcements des tined for him, so that he is now at the head of 14,000 men. He was impatient of the delay of CORDOVA, and, it is said, begins at last to suspect that he has not been fairly dealt with. On the 15th Mr. VILLIERS addressed a letter to him from Madrid, detailing the particulars of the intrigue by which the French party had obtained so signal a triumph over himself and MENDIZABAL. This was the first clear glimpse General EVANS obtained of the real posture of affairs, and it certainly is not likely to provoke another out burst in exculpation of the conduct of the Commander. in-Chief. But be CORDOVA'S feelings and sentiments what they may, there is every reason to believe that he will now do his utmost to put down the Carlist rebel lion. Without victory, he cannot make head against his numerous enemies. Besides, the QUEEN and Is- TURIZ are obliged to look to him for deliverance from the difficulties into which his Councils have driven them. - By victory only can he manage to keep ISTU RIZ in office for a single month ; and he is well aware that the fall of that Minister will involve him in utter ruin. He has also given pledges to France, which he must redeem at the peril of his official existence. If, therefore, he fail now in striking a decisive blow, we may safely attribute his failure to incapacity, cowardice, or misfortune. The worst consequence of his past treachery has been that he can no longer depend upon his own soldiery. In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday a petition was presented on the subject of the claims of France on the Haytian Republic. M. THIERS lamented that the creditors of the Republic had suffered so much ; but said that there was no use in interfering so long as the Government of Hayti was notoriously un able to liquidate its debts. After a long, discussion the petition was got rid of by moving the Order of the Day, which was carried without a division. The annexed. extracts, from the Journals, contain some statements relative to MENDIZABAL'S retire ment, which we regard as altogether unfounded., The French Press has repeatedly stated that MENDIZABAL told the QUEEN REGENT, during an interview on the 14th, that he would not accept office a second time were she to ask him to do so on her knees 1 ! The statement is utterly untrue. PARIS, MAY 28.—A letter from Africa affirms that Abdel Kader wrote on the 29th April to General d'Arlanges offering tc fight another battle with him ; the General did not give any answer. The following are the terms of the letter— " Abdel Kader is nearer to you than you think ; he expects you with his army. (Signed) " ABDEL KADER." It is said that on the Ist of May he wrote a second letter conceived in the following terms :—" Letters have been written to the General and to Sidi Mustapha ; they have not thought fit to fight ; however no matter, for their will they ought to correspond, by which some advantages would result on both sides." The correspondent adds that it is evident to every body that in the action on the Tafna three-fourths of the auxiliaries of Abdel Kader were Moroguese. We have a letter from our correspondent at Madrid of the 19th, but this letter contains only facts already known to the public. We find in it however the following' anecdotes on the late events When M. Mendizabal presented to the Queen the list of the persons whom he desired to remove from their high offices, her Majesty answered, I know where this note comes from ; it was manufactured at Don Firmin Caballero's, who delivered it to Don Garcia Carrasco, from whose hands it has come into yours.' And it seems that this was the fact. When some of Mendizabal's friends urged him to renounce his project of dis missing Qucsada and some other Generals, the Minister said to them, I would not change my resolution though the Queen were to fall on her knees to entreat me.' Who can account for so much pride and so much infatuation? " It is also said that when he tendered his resignation to the Queen, he accompanied it with the following words It was circumstances precisely similar which brought on Charles X. the loss of his crown and exile.' No, no,' re plied Christina quickly ; ' the true cause of the misfortune of Charles X. was no other than the rashness with which be signed decrees like those which you lay before me every day.' " The funds continue to fall, and the evil consequences begin to appear. The bankruptcy of the rich house of Simon Ibarra is already public, and various suspensions of payment are spoken of. All these things considered, a' dreadful crisis is at hand, and nothing but foreign co-operation, or rather in tervention, can give us back peace, tranquillity, and happiness. The Ministry that shall obtain it will merit the gratitude of all parties, and will have the approbation of all who desire to preserve their lives and property, that is to say of all Spain Messager, May 29. ng Advices from Lisbon to the 24th instant, have been received. The QUEEN is reported to be enceinte. The PRINCE is exceedingly popular. He has appointed the Duke of TERCEIRA, head of His Royal High ness's Staff, as Commander-in-Chief. The Duke has, therefore, retired from the Cabinet, and PAL MELLA has again resumed the port ffeuille of Foreign Affairs. A new Company, for the improvement of roads and bridges, and the navigation of rivers and canals, has been started 1 4 11 Portugal. The capital of the Company, is estimated at 100,0001., divided into 251. shares. It has already received flattering assurances of support from the QUEEN, the El-EMPRESS, the PRINCE, and the whole of the Lisbon Cabinet. Its success is considered quite certain. HOUSE OF LORDS-( THIS DAY.) The arguments of Mr. Sergeant WILDE, op behalf of the appellant in Small v. Attwood, occupied their Lordships the whole day. The Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Devon, and Lord Lyndhurst. VIOE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (THIS DAY.) THE EQUESTRIAN STATUE OF GEORGE TIIE THIRD-WILLIAMS AND OTHERS V. CAMPBELL AND OTHERS, Mr. KNIGHT applied in this case exparte for a speeial in junction to restrain the defendants, their servants and workmen, from erecting an equestrian statue of George 111. on a site in Pall-mall East. The Learned Counsel said that two of the defendants whom he wished to restrain were General Officers, of the same name, one being his Majesty's Attorney- General, and the other Lieut.-General Sir John Campbell, and the grounds upon which he sought to restrain them were the following :—The plaintiffs were the lessees under the Crown of two houses in Pall-mall East, which adjoined the Haymarket, where there was a large opening crossed by a foot path. At the time when the leases under the Crown were taken by the plaintiffs, they contracted with the Crown for them upon plans exhibited by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to leave the space before the two houses open, as it had been up till within a few days since. That was a great inducement, with the plaintiffs, to take the lease, and to do as they had done, lay out large sums of money. The space which had been left open for the public use, belonged to the Crown, and was un der the power of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. Sorrie time since several respectable and patriotic indivi duals most laudably subscribed for the purpose of erecting an equestrian statue of George the Third. Some question arose as to where the pedestal ought to be placed. At last the Commissioners of Pavement in the parish of St. Martin-in-the Fields, whose powers extend only to putting a veto on the removing of the ordered pavement, had ordered it to be removed for the purpose of erecting the pedestal, and by the direction of Sir John Campbell, together with the other Commissioners of Woods and Forests, a hoard for that purpose had been erected. The VICE-CHANCELLOR observed that he saw it the other day, but he thought a lamp only was about to be erected. Mr. KNIGHT said that the affidavits of the plaintiffs stated that if the erection were allowed to go on it would cause con siderable injury to them and great obstruCtion to the road. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—The same sort of case arose with respect to the United Service Club : I think upon the facts , stated it is a case for an injunction.--anjunction granted. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. THIS DAY. A Court of Common Council was held this morning, pur suant to a requisition, most numerously signed, and addressed to the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of considering the pro priety of petitioning the House of Commons to take the most efficacious means for securing to the people of Ireland the advantages of local self-government by the instrumentality of Municipal Corporatons. The Lord Mayor took the Chair at one o'clock, when the minutes of last Court were read and affirmed. Mr. TAYLOR brought up the Report of the Committee ap pointed at the last Court, to draw up a resolution of condo lence and regret upon the loss of the oldest member of the Court, Mr. Samuel Dixon ; thc Committee had agreed upon a resolution which he hoped would be passed unanimously, as political feelings could no longer actuate any one. The Re port suggested that the Court express its regret at the loss of Mr. Dixon, who had for fifty years discharged his duties in that Court in an assiduous, able, and conscientious manner ; and that the resolution be signed by the Town-clerk, and be communicated by the Lord Mayor to the family of the deceased. Mr. STEVENS felt bound to oppose the Report, and would move, that it do lie on the table, if he should stand alone.— ( Hear, hear.) How did the Court know as to the motives of Mr. Dixon ?—the conscientious discharge of his duties was known only to himself. He (Mr. S.) could not join in the Report, for the Gentleman so eulogised had been distinguished in the Court by the worst and most uncompromising old Tory principles. Mr. GALLOWAY seconded the motion, that the Report do lie on the table. • No man had ever turned his public duties to more advantage than had Mr. Dixon.—(No, no ) fie had in early times most amply provided for his family, and had only withdrawn them when he found some Reformers cvne into the Court. He would have been very glad if the worthy Gentle man had been allowed to go to his grave without his being called upon to make these -animadversions ; but the fault was not with him, but with those who forced him to do so upon public grounds. No part of the public life of Mr. Dixon entitled him to the respect of that Court. Mr. STEVENS had opposed it before, and bad spoken against the appointment of the Committee. Mr. OBBARD thought the opposition came too _late. It should have been made before the Committee was appointed. That Committee had honestly fulfilled its instructions, and if it aas not now received, it would be casting a slur upon it. Mr. EIEPPELL thought that the Court might agree in the report without compromising themselves in any way. He would vote for the Resolution. An HoN. MEMBER said the Court had passed a vote of thanks to the late Alderman Waithman, for the conscientious discharge of his duties—surely Mr. Dixon had been the same, fur he had uniformly said " no" to every liberal motion that had ever been made in the Court. Mr. WILSON contended that it was perfectly competent to move an amendment to such a proposition, and instanced the case of a vote of thanks being recommended by a Committee to their present Chief Magistra!e when an amendment had been moved. He could not agree with -the present Motion. If any particular act of Mr. Dixon's life had been pointed out as worthy of a public testimonial, ha (Mr. Wilson) would have been most ready to concur in it ; but looking at as the vote of a Corporate body, be, for one, could not agree with it. Mr. Winn was of opinion that the present motion might be agreed to by the Court without any compromise to its cha ract,.r. It was impossible, looking at the acts and notices of Mr. Dixon, to deny that he was influenced by a conscientious feeling that he was discharging his duty to that Court. All political animosities should be buried in the grave, and they ought to forget the frailties, and remember only the good in tentions of the dead. —( Hear.) He should, therefore, support the motion. Mr. ,PRITCHARD would give every credit to the feelings by which the Hon. Member who had spoken last was influenced, but he could not agree with him that a public testimonial of their approval was called for in the present case. Mr. Prit chard here remarked upon the testimonial which had been toted to Alderman Waithman, and compared the public ser vices of the two individuals, which were as different in their degree as they had been in their results. He should feel his duty to oppose the motion. Mr. TAYLOR was very much concerned to hear such se' merits expressed by those Gentlemen, with whom he thought upon political subjects. It grieved him very much to find that those who were superior in the view they took of political subjects should be inferior in liberality to their opponents. He remembered that the Tory members of that Court joined in the testimonial to Alderman \Yaithman, and had the good sense to see that they did not thereby compromise their political sentiments. He honoured a concientious Tory, and felt a peculiar pleasure in the friendship of those who differed from him in opinion, provided that difference was conscientious. He denied that Mr. Dixon had been opposed to all reform ; he went a considerable way in favour of reform. He ad mitted that Mr. Dixon had certain opinions which might be called prejudices; he looked at Reformers with jealousy and suspicion as going to extremes. It was entirely on the grounds of Mr. Dixon's merits as a citizen and member of that Court, that he came forward to propose this resolution. Mr. Dixon had been a valued and useful Member of this Court for 50 years. The resolution was then put and carried by a very large majority. Mr. STEVENS then gave notice, that on the next Court day he would move that on the death of the senior member of the Court, it be referred to a Committee to consider and take the necessary steps to pay such mark of respect as he may have deserved.—( Hear, hear.) IRISH CORPORATIONS. Mr. • lIEPPELL rose, and said that he was about to bring for ward a subject of the greatest public importance to all the Corporations in the kingdom.— (Hear, hear, hear.)

THE GIRAFFES.—More than 2,000 Persons visited the Zoological Gardens on Thursday, and a nearly equal num ber on the two following days, excited by this great curiosity. They possess a remarkable penchant for sweet substances, and on their progress to the gardens, were preceded by M. Thibaut, with a bag containing loaf sugar, with which he en ticed them on, when they were intimidated. Their mode of defence when attacked or irritated, is by kicking with the hind legs in the manner of a horse, planting their blows with great force. LABOURERS' FRIEND SOCIETY The friends of this Institution, which has for its object the disseminating information on the advantages of allotments of land to the labouring . classes, and on other similar means o f improving their condition, met yesterday at Exeter Hall, to hear the Annual Report, and to further the proceedings of the Society. At half-past one o'clock Lord SONDES took the chair, and expressed his conviction from practical results in the cases of 100 of his labouring tenants, of the excellency of the plan, and that it was the only safety v alve for the new Poor L aw system. His Lordship in conclusion said he and the Meeting had to regret the death of a benefactor to the Society—he meant the Lord Bishop of Lichfield. JOHN Wool), Esq., the Secretary, read the Report, fr om which it appeared 30 counties had been visited, 80 publi c meetings held, and nearly 7 0 , 000 families received allot men t s o f land. The Report concluded by calling for additional aid and co-operation. Several Gentlemen addressed the meeting in movinc , and seconding resolutions in furtherance of the objects of the So ciety ; and a Committee was formed to open a distinct fund for the employment of an agent in Ireland. Loud applause followed this announcement. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting adjourned. On Saturday morning, at St. John's Chapel, Bed ford-row, the Rev. B. Noel alluded to the Bishop of London's proposed plan for building 50 new churches; an d s t a t e d hi s willingness to receive contributions in the vestry aft er th e ser vice. In the evening the Rev. Gentleman announced that the donations so given to him amounted to 8001. IRISH CORPORATION BILL !-TRI- UMPIIANT VICTORY!!! WORCESTER, MAY 30, 1836. This has indeed been a glorious day for Worcester, and one that will not easily be forgotten. The inhabitants of this city and neighbourhood have evinced in the strongest manner the feeling that exists in their minds with regard to their fellow countrymen in Ireland. Never has a public meeting been held in this city under higher auspices. The Worcestershire Guardian (the organ of the Toiy faction) in their last Num ber insinuated that the meeting would not be attended by the leading gentlemen of the Whig party. This day, however, the contrary was proved. Great excitement prevailed during the course of the morning in consequence of a report that the Conservatives intended to follow the example Aet them by their Liverpool brethren, and move an amendment. The Reformers, however, were on the alert; and on the Mayor, C. H. Hebb, Esq., taking the Chair, a few minutes after 12 o'clock, the Crown Court in which the meeting was held was quite crowded. The Mayor was accompanied by William Acton, Esq., one of the recently appointed magistrates for this city, and also a magistrate for the county, Charles Hanford, Esq., a magis trate for the county ; and also a magistrate for the borough of Tewkesbury, Alderman Gibb, Richard Evans, Edward Evans, Mr. Sheriff Allies, the Town Clerk, with several other members of the Town Council, and were received with loud cheers. The Mevoe shortly introduced the subject of the meeting by reading the requisition. He observed that they were as sembled to exercise cue of the most valuable and ancient pri vileges of the Constitution—the right of petitioning the Le gislature.—( Cheers.) Ireland, oppressed and cruelly treated Ireland, called for equal laws and equal rights, and he felt perfectly satisfied that such a cry would not be made to Eng lish ears in vain.—( Loud applause.) WILLIA NI ACTON, Esq., then rose, but in consequence of the crowded state of the Court there was a loud cry for an adjourn ment into the outer Hall, which was immediately complied with. Mr. Acton then, in a speech of much feeling, energy, and eloquence, through which he was loudly cheered, moved the following resolution : " That this meeting, considering Ireland as an integral part of the British empire, view with deep regret and indignant apprehension the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill as changed and passed by the House of Lords, which Bill when sent from the House of Commons bore the stamp of the English and Constitutional principles of representation ; but when returned from the House of Lords the un-English and despotic principle of concentration of all Municipal power in one individual. That this meeting present a petition to the House of Commons, expressive of their regret and alarm, and entreating that House to give its assent to no Bill less con servative of the Municipal rights and franchises of the Irish people than that which passed their Honourable House by such triumphant majorities. That this meeting present an address to his Majesty's Ministers, thanking them for the important services they have rendered to their country, and entreating them under no circumstances whatever to offer to Ireland a Municipal Reform Bill less based on popular election and control than the one which first emanated from their hands." F. T. G Ina, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously, amidst loud cheering. CII ARLES HANFORD, Esq., in an energetic speech, in which he reviewed the acts of the Liberal Administrations since the year 1830, moved that the following petition be presented to the House of Commons ; and that in consequence of the shortness of the time it be signed by the Chairman, on behalf of the meeting : " To the Commons of the United Kingdom in Parliament as sembled, the humble petition of the Mayor, Magistrates, Aldermen, Burgesses, and other Inhabitants of the City and neighbourhood of Worcester, in Public Meeting assembled, " Sheweth,—That your petitioners consider Ireland, es pecially since the Union, as an integral part of the British em pire, and fully entitled to all the Municipal and other rights and privileges possessed by the two other States, and which, with Ireland, constitute that empire. " That your petitioners have seen with deep regret, and still deeper alarm, an attempt made by the House of Lords to pass the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill in such a shape as would entirely destroy all the Municipal rights and franchises of the Irish Nation, and place its Municipal Government in the power and at the discretion of a single individual—a power unknown and abhorrent to the free and liberal spirit of the British Con stitution, and dangerous as a new element of despotism to the liberties of Ireland and the whole British empire. " Your petitioners therefore humbly pray your Honourable House not to pass the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill, thus changed and mutilated ; and moreover, that in all future legis lation your Honourable House will consider Ireland as co-equal with England and Scotland, and entitled to be governed by the same mild and equal laws ; for your petitioners are fully convinced that it is only by placing the three countries on the same equal and constitutional footing, that the Union can be so maintained as to give, as it is capable of giving, strength, prosperity, and happiness, to the United Empire. And your Petitioners, &c." This, motion was seconded by Mr. Sheriff ALLIES, and car ried unanimously. Mr. Ald. R. EVANS moved that the following Address he presented to the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Melbourne : " We the Mayor. Magistrates, Aldermen, Burgesses, and other inhabitants of the city and neighbourhood of Worcester, respect fully tender to your Lordship, and through you to your Right Hon. Colleagues, our sincere and our most grateful thanks for the important services which during your administration you have rendered to your country, and particularly for introdu cing into Parliament the English liinnicipal Reform Bill, which, though deprived of some of the valuable elements it possessed when it first emanated from your hands, has worked favourably for the good and happiness of the people. We are not ignorant of the difficulties with which you have had to contend, or of the sacrifires w hich you have been constrained to make ; but we, nevertheless, most earnestly and most respectfully entreat you to move on in the same patriotic path of improvement, conscious that you will find in the approbation of your own minds, and in the plaudits of a grateful country, the meed of an imperishable reward : and above all things, we entreat you to do full justice to Ire land, and under no circumstances whatever to- offer to that country a Municipal Corporation Bill, less based on popular election and control than the one introduced by you to Parlia ment this Session ; from our firm conviction that such conduct will best secure the union on which the strength and prosperity of both kingdoms so eminently depend." This motion was seconded by ROBERT HARDY, Esq., and also carried unonimously. Mr. CAREY, an aged Irish gentleman, who has resided at Worcester for the last several years, then presented himself, amidst loud cheers, and made a forcible appeal to the meeting to come forward in the cause of Ireland. Mr. PARRY moved that the petition to the House of Com mons be presented by George Richard Robinson, Esq., one of the Members for this city ; and that Joseph Bailey, Esq., the other Member (a Tory!), be requested to support the prayer. This motion having been seconded by Mr. GREENING, was put and carried unanimously, amidst considerable cheering. Mr. CHAPMAN moved " That the Right Hon. Lord Foley be requested to present the address to Lord Melbourne." Seconded by Mr. SOUTHAN. Mr. Parry, Mr. Greening, Mr. Chapman, and Mr. Southan, are all members of the Town Council. The Mayor havin g left the chair, Charles Hanford, Esq. moved a vote of thanks for his conduct therein, which was seconded by F. J. Gibb, Esq., and responded to with three times three most hearty cheers. The Mayor returned thanks, and the meeting then broke up, first giving three cheers for Daniel O'Connell and Ireland. All the resolutions were passed without one dissentient voice. Thus the Tory clique in this city, who it is well known meditated evil against the meeting, were grievously disappointed ; all their efforts proved a complete failure, not one even daring to show his face on the platform. But more particularly they had the extreme morti fication of seeing that edifice which was lent by the late Cor poration but a few short months ago to O'Sullivan, to sow the seeds of discord, fanaticism, and all uncharitableness, used for the very far different purpose of calling upon the Legislature and his Majesty's Ministers to persevere in their patriotic endeavours to redress the grievances of unhappy Ireland. JUSTICE TO IRELAND. PUBLIC MEETING AT TAUNTON. The spirited inhabitants of this borough, deeply sympa• thising with their Irish fellow subjects in the common feeling of indignation at the insult and wrong endeavoured to be per petrated against them by the irresponsible House, promptly circulated a requisition to the bailiffs, requesting them to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neighbour hood, to petition the House of Commons to reject the altera tions made by the Lords in the Municipal Bill, and to stand firm in its resolution to procure for the people of Ireland amended municipal institutions, and that which they have been so long strangers to—justice. The bailiffs answered the call, and the meeting was held accordingly on Friday last—the bailiff presiding. It was one of the most respectable ever held here. The following magistrates of the county were present and took part in the proceedings—viz., Sir Thomas B. Leth bridge, Bart., the Rev. P. Thomas, A. Crosse, Esq., R. M. King, Esq., and William Beadon, Esq. Sir THOMAS LETIIBRIDGE moved a petition to the House of Commons to the above effect, introducing it with a speech of great length and brilliancy, full of good sense and right feel ing. Ile condemned the conduct of the House of Lords in unconstitutionally substituting what was in fact a different bill under the form 'of an amendment. He asserted that they were raising a feeling in the breast of every thinking man, which would lead to their inevitable overthrow if they were not wise in time. " I am a friend to the present Constitution," said the Hon. Baronet ; " I desire no organic changes, if they can be avoided ; but I cannot be blind to the present aspect of things ; I cannot help perceiving that the Lords by their con duct are standing in the way of the peace, the good order, and the good government of the country ; that they will not bar monise with a reformed House of Commons ; and therefore I begin to think that we can have no rest from these collisions and agitations until Reform has been extended to their Lord ships' House, and they also are made responsible to the people." Immense cheering followed this avowal. Sir Thomas then said that he was prepared to aid his Irish brethren in their demand for justice ; and he was sure that England, who so valued—and so justly valued—her great privileges of self government in local affairs, would not submit to see the people of Ireland treated like slaves and deprived of their privileges, because the majority of her people happened to be Catholics. He was a sincere Protestant, but he asserte the right of a men to think for themselves, and he was startled to find on ll this day, after a legisLition ui the last seven ) cars, an attempt made to make religious opinions the ground of civil disabilities. He called upon the Commons of England to be firm, and never to rest till they had obtained "justice for Ireland." He said that he was conscious that a very serious crisis had ar rived—a more serious one than was commonly apprehended; and therefore lie trusted the people of England would make ready to stand by their own House of Commons , and aid them by their support in the contest that was comi n g . The .Hon, Baronet then ridiculed in a happy strain the party tactics of the Peers, who chose to attribute everything to Mr. O'Connell. He said that the House of Lords had made him the greatest man in Ireland ; by their present conduct they would ass a . uredly make him the greatest man in England. He was rising rer pidly in the opinion of the people of this country, and c as tainly there was no man whose services in their cause, well as in that of the oppressed Irish, better entitled him to the gratitude of all Reformers. The Hon. Baronet then read the petition, which is strongly worded, and sat down amidst en thusiastic applause. Dr. RINGLAKE, M. D., seconded it. It was put from tb chair, and carried unanimously—not even a solitary "No being uttered against it. The Rev. P. THONIAS, a magistrate of the county, in an able speech, moved a vote of thanks to the members for the bo rough and for West Somerset, for their uniform votes in favor of "justice to Ireland," and was seconded by James Bunter, Esq., banker. IL M. RING, Esq., a magistrate of the county, moved a vote of thanks to Lord Melbourne and his Majesty's Ministers, which being seconded by G. A. Crosse, Esq., also a magis trate, was received by the assembly with three t imes three vo ciferous cheers, and half-a-dozen more. Thanks being given to the Bailiffs, the meeting broke up.. The Tories did not dare to appear and publicly oppose the petition ; but they have since privately concocted a hole-and corner counter-address, which they have hawked about for si g - natures, and have imposed upon a few persons, who mistook It for that which was thus unanimously voted at the public meeting. The men of Taunton are firm and united. They call upon all their brother Reformers to follow their example—to meet and petition and demand " Justice for Ireland." The Lords have aimed a blow at civil and religious liberty. Let those who love it, instantly rally in its defence. Where are the Dissenters? If the Lords succeed in this attempt, their cause is lost for years. Let them up and be doing. CREDITORS of the DUKE of YOR Yesterday (Monday) afternoon, a meeting of the creditors of the Duke of York was held at the British Hotel, in Cock spur-street. Mr. WALLER, bookseller, Fleet-street, was in the chair. The report of the Committee, appointed by the general body of the creditors on the 30th July, 1832, was read to the meet ing. The executors of the Duke's will, Sir Herbert Taylor and Col. Sir B. Stevenson, had paid into the Court of Chancery the whole sums received on account of his estate since January, 1827. These amounted to 75,1951. 4s. 6d. The debts proved under the decree of the Court amounted to 201,5851. 16s. 6d. Out of the sums received, 41,1831. I Is. sd. had been paid on account of judgment debts; and the bonds on which judgment had not been obtained amounted to 97,5061. 14s. 4d. The simple contract debts were 62,8951. 10s. 9d., so that there was an apparent deficiency of 126,3901. 12s. The law proceedings had been stayed by the Committee, on an assurance that no delay in payment of the Duke's debts would take place; but the Committee re gretted to say that they were as much in the dark as ever as to the ultimate payment of the debts. With regard to the Nova Scotia mines, devised by the Duke to Messrs. Bridge, Run dell, and Bridge, and by them to the South American Mining Company, the Committee had judged it expedient not to dis pose of his Royal Highness's interest in them. The Report then adverted to the claims of the tradesmen engaged to finish York House, whose claims amounted to 24,1241. Mr. Amory, solicitor for the Committee, then read a de tailed account of the legal proceedings which had taken place. Many of the applications made to him, he said, were of the most painful description. In answer to a question from a gentleman present, on the subject of the Nova Scotia mines, Mr. Amory stated that George IV. had made a grant of them in general terms to the Duke of York in June, 1826. The grant was for sixty years from that date. At the interview which a deputation from the Committee, some time ago, had with Lord Melbourne upon the subject, his Lordship had stated that Government were at present in the receipt of 7,000/. a year from the mines in question. A good deal of discussion then took place as to the expedi ency of presenting a petition to the House of Commons. Ul timately, a series of resolutions, recommended by the Com mittee, were passed, and a petition to Parliament agreed to be presented. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, MAY 30.—Wind N.
